VIVA – Juventus gain satisfying results in the inaugural match of Serie A this season. Under the new coach, Andrea Pirlo, ‘The Old Lady’ successfully beat Sampdoria three goals without reply.
It was his first match with Juventus as well as his debut as a coach.
In addition to presenting the victory, Pirlo’s first appearance as an allenatore also answered the public’s curiosity about how the maestro had formulated the team’s strategy.
According to Football Italia, there are several patterns that Pirlo applied. Basically he uses a back three format, 3-5-2, but can transform into 5-4-1, or even into a formation of four defenders.

Regardless of the pattern or formation used, one fundamental thing that turns out to be the hallmark of Pirlo’s strategy is the freedom given to players.
“We are free to play more aggressively and be able to reclaim the ball. In contrast to Sarri, who wanted this team to always move in groups, ”said Leonardo Bonucci.
The same thing was conveyed by Dejan Kulusevski, the new player who scored the opener against Sampdoria. “Pirlo is very relaxed. He believes in players, so it’s very easy. He let us play and have fun ”.
